Abrams Genealogy & History

Abrams is a patronymic Scottish name, also found in England, Germany, and Holland. It is of early-medieval English origin, meaning son of Abram, a variation of the Hebrew given name Avraham. Avraham/Abraham, meaning father of nations, was the ancestor of all the Israelites. Always popular as a Jewish given name, Abraham was also popular among Christians, particularly after the Reformation, especially in the Abram form. Thus Abrams genealogy is related to that of Abrahams, Abrahamson, and Abramson. The coat of arms has a sun in splendor on blue, signifying authority and strength. American Abrams family history began in Virginia in 1657.
